Love's remembrance, Lord, Thou seekest
Lu 22.19 this do in remembrance of me
From Thine own assembled thus;
Acts 20.7 when the disciples came together to break bread
In the bread we break Thou speakest
1Cor 11.24 this is my body, which is broken for you
Of Thy body giv'n for us:
Lu 22.19 This is my body which is given for you

Holy vessel of God's pleasure
Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath subjected [him] to suffering. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see a seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
In His service day by day;
Isa 50.4 he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned
Nothing but His will Thy measure
John 8.29 the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him
All along that suffering way.
Heb 5.7 in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears

Lord, we drink the cup of blessing,
1Cor 10.16 The cup of blessing which we bless
The communion of Thy blood,
1Cor 10.16 the communion of the blood of Christ
Thus as one our love confessing
Eph 6.24 them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity
For Thyself, blest Son of God.
1John 4.19 We love him, because he first loved us
